@anon46773462 - I would seriously ask you to reconsider that decision. A few weeks ago when I was thinking of baling out of this site, you presented a slightly different way of thinking about things to me and it was because of your input that I am still here.
Similarly, you have been very instrumental in talking to @anon81929759 about his decision to leave and he is still here too.
I understand the principle although I don’t know which posts you are speaking of specifically. I do know that you are one of our most knowledgeable members and the fluency and depth of thought shown in your posts is something which we should all aspire to.
Not everybody (even mods) are good enough to understand the nuances of what everyone says at all times and I know we all feel unfairly treated at times - @_bob is a recent case in point as well.
There comes a time in forums when the value of the members who are no longer there has to weighed up and the remaining members need to make their own decisions as to whether it is worth the effort of continuing to contribute, or whether it is time to move on and migrate to other places.
It is a long time since I was involved in Trading forums and in the previous places, I don’t think there were any deletions at all ! Things got quite fraught sometimes and we all (mostly) accepted that traders tend to be strong minded individuals and could disagree quite vehemently.
But they were different places from this “gentle place” where a never ending stream of newbies are encouraged to think trading is just a case of “Learning some simple rules” and joining the queue of fresh money waiting to enrich the “machine” with smiling faces.
As traders, we have to live in “The world as it IS” not “as we would like it to be” !
If you do “go” @anon46773462, it will be a huge loss to the forum and there will be even fewer knowledgeable posts to interest those who are left behind. Perhaps that would even cause others to reconsider their own positions within the community.
I do hope you decide to stay, even if it has causes you some pain to do so - There are some of us who sincerely value your sage advice and wisdom. Perhaps the “Mods” might like to revisit their own actions in this too ? However, if you do decide to move on to “Pastures new”, I do hope to bump into you wherever that may be sometime soon.
WHichever way life goes, It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have “known you” mate !
All the very best
